Super Mario World
You could argue that the first/older Mario games are more in need of a remake, but no 2D Mario is more deserving of one than Super Mario World – one of the more universally appealing older Mario games thanks to its colorful design and the debut of everyone’s favorite anthropomorphic dinosaur, Yoshi.
With no virtual console yet on the Switch, it isn’t as easy as it was previously to legitimately play this platformer on a Nintendo console; whereas Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros 2, Super Mario Bros 3, and The Lost Levels are all available to you if you have a Nintendo online subscription and a WiFi connection.
However, Mario’s more colorful old school 2D adventure is yet to join its NES predecessors’ thanks to being a SNES and Game Boy Advance release. This is another reason Super Mario World could come to the Switch as a remake rather than a port.
Improved visuals could make revisiting a classic much more enjoyable and would bring an experience beloved by many to the new generation and to those who missed it.
